Gavin Esler in conversation with Dame Penny Mordaunt

Pomp and Circumstance

Gavin welcomes Dame Penny Mordaunt, former Conservative Cabinet Minister and famously the sword-bearer at the King’s Coronation, to talk about Pomp and Circumstance – Why Britain’s traditions matter. Her book, celebrating the traditions and values that underpin British life, offers a unique perspective from someone who has had a ringside seat at our national events and crises over many years.

Duration: 60 mins approx.

There will be a book sale and signing in the Astor bar after the talk.

In association with The Deal Bookshop
